Silky Hand Saws

Silky is an industry leader that is continually improving saw design and performance. Our customers rave about how sharp and fast-cutting Silky hand saw blades are. The key is in the unique tooth designs which have evolved out of more than 20 years of product development. The fine pruning saws are unbeatable for detail work and the larger saws are often replacing chainsaws for small to medium-sized cuts in the tree. Silky hand saws cut faster, stay sharp longer, and grip better than traditional saws. Some Silky saws have impulse-hardened blades which stay sharper, longer, but can not be sharpened. The Ibuki and the Sugoi have blades that can be sharpened before they are replaced. To read more about what sets Silky saws apart from the competition, read our profile of Silky Saws.

Silky Zubat Arborist Edition

Zubat Arborist Edition

saw1106

330 Replacement Blade

saw326

The New Zubat Arborist Edition cuts on average 15-20% faster than a standard 13” Silky Zubat. This improved cutting efficiency is the result of increasing the tooth size from 6.4 Teeth per Inch (TPI) to 4.7 TPI. What this means to the user is fewer strokes resulting in less fatigue - those massive pruning jobs will go that much quicker.

The scabbard on the arborist edition now has an additional long roller at the point where the tip of the saw would often strike the inside of the scabbard upon entry. Over time, this would sometimes wear into the scabbard, creating a hole in the scabbard. The extra roller on the arborist edition guides the tip safely into the scabbard. Like all modern Zubats, the rollers top and bottom of the scabbard secure the saw firmly, yet make it easy to draw.

The new Arborist Edition Zubat will outperform your expectations. This is a truly exceptional saw, for professional arborists.

“This is a fantastic saw. I have been carrying a Sugozawa as my second saw because it cuts so fast, but the extra length can be a bit much in tight quarters. I have switched to this saw for the aggressive cutter and I love it. The size, speed of cut, weight, and balance are sweet. An exceptional saw. Highly recommended.”

Silky Tsurugi Curve 330 / 13” Hand Saw (Large Teeth)

Tsurugi Curve 13” Hand Saw

SAW1132

Tsurugi Curve 13” Blade

SAW369

Silky's curved Tsurugi is a wonder of saw technology. The thin blade will fit in tight crotches without trouble or damage to nearby limbs, yet it sports the same large pruning teeth that have made Silky saws like the Sugoi popular for their aggressive cutting. The design of the Tsurugi is minimalist, with no screws, bolts, or other parts to keep the handle together. Rather the handle is a two-part molded rubber handle which fits perfectly and securely around the full tang for balanced saw with a comfort grip and no added bulk.

The scabbard for the Tsurugi is the best saw scabbard we've yet seen. The lightweight aluminum body protects the saw, and eight internal rollers make sure the blade glides into place and then the handle 'locks' into place as the two nubs on the rubber handle pass through the rollers.

“I love Silky hand saws. I have had the 14" sugoi previously and loved it. There are 2 main issues with this 16.5" version and they are both scabbard issues. Firstly the blade of the hand saw quickly cut a notch from the bottom end of the scabbard. This allows the first tooth or so to protrude and lock up with the scabbard. This means that i have to hit my scabbard fairly hard to the the saw blade to free from the scabbard. This is EVERY time I need to use it which is very frustrating. Secondly, Silky does NOT have the rubber/plastic clip anchor point like the the 14" Sugoi. Instead the 16.5" has a pleather like loop which is held in by by two flimsy gromets. One of the grommets fully fell out and the other is barely hanging in there. I have to zip tie it every week.”

Update: The saw is as good as silky always is... The scabbard is horrible!! Is DOES NOT have a a quick release clip like other models. The rivets (X2) are extremely weak. One broke soon after my purchase and I've had to zip tie it about once a week for 6 months. The scabbard tip also allows the tip of the blade to protrude which means I can never pull it out. I have to hit the scabbard on my boot or tree to get the teeth dislodged to use. Bottom line: saw is awesome. scabbard is a terrible design!

“ This is the saw I have been waiting for. It is the perfect size for every task that, I wouldn't use a chain saw for. you can squeeze the narrow blade in tight crotches and cut sprouts out of the way faster than it takes to start your chain saw. It is very light weight. Great scabbard, the aluminum is much more durable than the standard plastic. The replacement blade is reasonably priced as well. ”

Tsurugi Curve 10.6” Blade

SAW367

The Tsurugi Curve makes a great smaller hand saw for fine cuts in narrow confines. This shorter version (10.6” / 210 mm) with Silky's medium teeth is an excellent choice for fine pruning, fruit trees, ornamentals, and other places where leaving a smoother finish is more important than a faster cut.

“ I use this saw (Silky Tsurugi 200mm) at work for pruning trees and even tackled a few larger 6" limbs with it. It cuts small saplings and suckers like butter with a single stroke. Wear gloves. It will take a finger nail off lickity split! ”
